Château Montlabert 2022 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, Grand Cru Classé

A lovely powerful, concentrated, ripe nose, which offers density in its fruit, darkness. It expresses notes of wild blackcurrant, concentrated blackberry and small notes of violet associated with touches of liquorice, morello cherry, as well as hints of infusion, black tea, camphor and a subtle hint of smoke. The palate is fruity and offers juiciness, freshness, minerality, a lovely definition, a certain concentration in delicacy, a certain verticality. It expresses notes of black cherry/morello cherry, bright blackcurrant and small notes of juicy/tangy blueberry, associated with touches of roasted/juicy red berries, black tea, juicy/fresh red berries, blueberry and camphor/sweet spices. Good length, a subtle hint of good bitterness on the persistence.
